Answer:
The Sepik culture.
Explanation:
I did some research and this is the result I came up with (by research I do not mean a simple search on safari. I have quite the collection of history books!). The Sepik people were located around the pacific and made lots of art, but mostly pottery. I hope this helped :)
There aren't any statements shown but I think i can help with the second part, artists in different times and places are influenced by the different things around them and by what is happening during that time.
For an example of different places; an artist at a beach would be more likely to draw the beach than an artist in a forest and the same way reversed.
An example of different times; an artist in the 1700s would portray people wearing different clothes than an artist would portray today.
